Chapter 362: Xiang Yu's Death

The sun is in the west.

The river on the west side of the chasm has been dyed red by the blood of Qin and Chu soldiers.

Under the exposure of the sun, swarms of mosquitoes and flies began to charge in groups, launching their own fierce attacks on those motionless corpses, and not far away, a few daring wild dogs cautiously approached the periphery of the battlefield at the risk of being cooked.

The encirclement of the Qin army is getting smaller and smaller, and after the appearance of the Loulan soldiers, the fighting spirit of the Chu army is even more unbearable, and some of the small units of the Chu army, which are divided away from the position of the Chinese army, have begun to lay down their arms and choose to surrender to the Qin army. The legend that the Qin people would bury their captives alive has long been proven to be nothing more than a means used by the powerful to deceive the foolish people.

The Qin State did not even kill the brothers of the heavy generals of the Chu army like Ji Xin, but also reused them, how could they embarrass them. And more importantly, for these ordinary soldiers, the state of Chu has no other feelings except for doubling the taxes again and again.

If it weren't for the ancestors or the people of the Chu State, if it weren't for the family or relatives, these Chu pawns would have long thought about escaping to the Qin State, although the news from the Qin State was tightly sealed, there were still secret channels that would pass back to the great changes that were taking place in the Qin State.

Popularity.

It is the most elusive and mysterious feeling.

At the beginning, it was the strict and cruel laws of the Qin State that made the Kwantung people who were accustomed to freedom and looseness very uncomfortable, and it was Zhao Gao and Hu Hai who pointed to the deer as horses and appointed their cronies to make the Qin State boil public resentment, so when Chen Sheng of Daze Township shouted the slogan "Princes and generals, rather have a kind of", the people of Kwantung would rise up and respond.

Nowadays, although the situation of the Chu State has not yet reached the point where Zhao Gao and Hu Hai are in turmoil, but in the Chu State under the governance of Xiang Tuo, the children of the Xiang family are either strong or incapable. can be easily reused, and those who don't have a relationship can only be squeezed into an idle position, or can only leave gloomily.

The hearts of the people of Chu were scattered.

When fame and fortune cease to exist, when the selfishness of survival overpowers honor, surrender becomes a matter of course.

——。

The center of the battlefield.

With Xiang Yu's repeated killings, he gradually moved in the direction of the chasm, but his movement speed gradually slowed down, and even stagnated at some times.

Two hundred Lan soldiers.

Those who died under Xiang Yu's halberd. It has reached twenty-seven.

This is still in a state of siege, if it is one-on-one, Xiang Yu's record is much more amazing.

Correspondingly, the results they achieved were that Xiang Yu's personal guards were almost all annihilated, and at the same time, on Xiang Yu's body, sword marks that penetrated deep into the bones almost stained Xiang Yu's robe into a bloody wash.

among these wounds. The most serious one was on Xiang Yu's left thigh, the sharp blade almost broke his major artery, and the continuous blood loss made Xiang Yu's dark face pale. What is even more worrying is that his movements have also lost their flexibility because of these wounds.

In a battlefield full of enemy soldiers, not being able to dodge flexibly means that you are one step closer to death.

This time. Xiang Yu desperately hopes that a companion can take him along, if it is not good. At least he can let himself breathe, otherwise, he will have to fight hard with the Loulan barbarians again and again, even if he has more strength, he can't help the enemy's shameless wheel warfare.

"Xiang Sheng, Xiang Xiang, still haven't come up?" After another heavy blow, Xiang Yu's throat was sweet, and a mouthful of blood spurted out, and then he finally opened his mouth and drank vigorously.

According to his intuition, Xiang Sheng and Xiang Xiang, the juniors of the two clans, should be near him, although he can't look down on these two guys with mediocre abilities, but there is a way to be a brother in the war, a father and son soldier, and now he can't continue to do it, and he can only rely on the support of the blood brothers in the clan.

With Xiang Yu's personality, if it weren't for the time when the oil ran out, he would never have spoken, but unfortunately, in response to his shout, there was nothing else except for one or two moans of the injured Chu pawn.

Xiang Sheng and Xiang Xiangju were all killed in battle!

Of course not.

These two Xiang disciples who were pinned on by Xiang Yu were fleeing with a team of defeated soldiers to the oblique stab at this time, and at this time, they also saw clearly, the Qin army was determined to leave Xiang Yu, if they followed happily, then they could only be buried together and died.

Die.

Maybe a ruthless character like Xiang Yu is not afraid of the sea of corpses and blood.

However, people like Xiang Sheng and Xiang Xiang who have not experienced cruel scenes feel fear from the bottom of their hearts. Therefore, after Xiang Yu shouted that voice, the two of them invariably embarked on the road of parting ways with Xiang Yu with a part of the same mind.

For the division within the Chu army.

Li Zhongxiang didn't care, like Xiang Sheng, Xiang Xiang and other roles, they were sent to him to shoot, and he was afraid of polluting his arrows, for a while, Li Zhongxiang held a strong bow, and the direction of his arrows was always Xiang Yu, who was in the center of the battlefield.

If it weren't for the close physical proximity of the two sides, Li Zhongxiang would have shot an arrow a long time ago, and he could personally shoot Xiang Yu, who has the title of invincible, which is also something to be proud of for Li Zhongxiang.

——。

Around.

The shouts of killing are getting closer and closer, and they seem to be getting farther and farther away.

After a day of killing, Xiang Yu's arm was already extremely heavy, and the wooden shield that covered the left wrist had long been shattered, and without the shield to cover it, the left half of his body became the weak point of the Qin army's attack, and the scar that hurt his thigh was caused by the inability to cover it.

"It's the moment when it's time to zuihou!"

Xiang Yu shook and stared at the Qin soldiers who were getting closer and closer, many of these soldiers in black armor were actually not old Qin people in Guanzhong, and some of them were even Chu people.

Use the Chu people to balance the Chu people.

Fight the Kanto people with the Kanto people.

Li Yuan's use of strength changed the isolated and helpless situation of the Qin State in the Kwantung region in one fell swoop, and as a large area originally belonging to the Han, Zhao, Yan, Chu, Wei and other states was annexed by the Qin State, the Kwantung people living in these places also welcomed and recognized the Qin State in a peaceful life.

The title of the country.

After all, you can't eat it as a meal.

Qin's policy of treating the old Qin people and the new Qin people equally, as well as the lower tax ratio than the Chu State, as long as those who have experienced it firsthand, will have a fair judgment in their hearts. For the people of Kanto who have experienced turmoil, peace and tranquility are like pearls, let them hold them in the palm of their hands and take care of them with extra care.

"The time is not good, and the time is gone, what can I do?" It was only at this time that Xiang Yu suddenly realized that Yu Ji's previous hard persuasion was for his own good. It's a pity that at that time, he was still immersed in a state of jealousy compared to Li Yuan, and he didn't calm down at all, and he didn't think about Yu Ji's words, right?

The sorrow of the emperor?

It is not that there are no courtiers who are faithful and direct advice, but that they do not listen to these direct advice, and even worse, they are angry with those who tell the truth.

"That's it, Xiang Ji, Xiang Ji, you are a conceited hero, but you listen to and believe partially, you are stubborn and self-serving, and you are empty of beautiful women, and now you are defeated, and you are still alive to do anything!"

As soon as Xiang Yu thought of this, his heart was desolate, and the overlord halberd fell to the ground with a "choking".

Seeing Xiang Yu like this, the besieging Loulan people were overjoyed, and they were about to step forward to capture the enemy general, but they heard Xiang Yu suddenly shout at Li Zhongxiang who was not far away: "The Qin general on the other side listened, Xiang's good head is here, and today you are cheaper." Please tell Li Thief that in the coming day, he should follow the example of the ancient punishment heaven, take the milk as the goal, take the umbilicus as the mouth, and dance with him, and win or lose another battle with him? ”

After this shout, Xiang Yu suddenly pulled out the saber at his waist and swung it hard towards his throat, and suddenly the blood gushed like a spring, and the strong blood loss made Xiang Yu's burly body shake several times, and Zuihou finally slowly fell down to the sky.

A generation of heroes.

Xiang Yu, who had won countless honors and was an undefeated god of war on the battlefield, finally died on the side of the chasm.

Xiang Yu died.

The rest of the Chu army no longer had the fighting spirit, Xiang Sheng and Xiang Xiang fled desperately, and finally died in the chaos, whether they were killed by the Qin army, or were assassinated by the Chu soldiers who were not angry with them for their shameless behavior, this is impossible to verify.

The only one who escaped on the battlefield was the Chu general Xiang Han, who crossed the river not long ago, after learning that Xiang Yu had killed himself, Xiang Han was shocked, so he stopped the eastward assault, and could not save Xiang Yu, all his efforts had no practical significance, as for the life and death of Xiang Sheng and Xiang Xiang, Xiang Han never paid attention to it at all.

Xiang Han and Zhou Yin, who retreated to Hedong, led the remaining remnants of more than 6,000 defeated soldiers to flee in a hurry, and in the face of the morale of the Qin army, these frightened Chu soldiers no longer had the courage to fight against them.

From July 22 to 24.

The Qin army in the west of the chasm to the remnants of the Chu army of the division and annihilation of the war lasted for two days, many of the Chu army or surrendered or was killed, even the first to start to flee the troops, but also under the pursuit of the Qin army's light cavalry, was chased to Yingshui, and then under the interception of Chen Xuan, most of the Fan soldiers were surrounded and annihilated, only a very small number of more than ten people were left into the vast mountains.

At this point, the smoke of the main battlefield of the chasm basically subsided, the main force of the Chu army was about 40,000 people, in this battle, the number of annihilated and captured reached more than 34,000, of which 15,000 died directly on the battlefield, and the rest became prisoners of the Qin army.

On the Qin army's side, the price paid is not small.

The biggest loss was the Hexi light cavalry, which originally had more than 3,000 cavalry of the Qin army, and the surviving cavalry of Zuihou was only a mere 800 cavalry, and it was the interception of those brave cavalrymen who died on the battlefield that prevented the Chu army reinforcements from joining Xiang Yuzhong's army.

In addition to the cavalry, the Loulan soldiers under Li Zhongxiang were also killed and wounded, among which the Loulan warriors who died directly under Xiang Yu's overlord halberd reached more than 30 people, and the remaining more than 100 Loulan soldiers were also killed in the fight with Xiang Yu's personal guards, so that when Zuihou's victory came, Li Zhongxiang was not faced with a face of excitement with meritorious service, but a Loulan general with a solemn expression and a sad face.
